The benefits of shaftless screw conveyors for wastewater

Gespeichert von globaladmin am Mi, 08/24/2016 - 19:16

Solids handling systems are critical for the process industries. Every day, organisations dealing with an uninterrupted flow of material need to ensure there's no unplanned equipment downtime. Simultaneously, these businesses must effectively contain odour and mess.

This is where the unique features of Shaftless Screw Conveying Systems from SPIRAC can prove especially useful. When designing a new wastewater material handling system, these solutions should rank high in the consideration list.

Unplanned equipment downtime can often mean significant delays for a process plant business.

Low RPM and low power usage

Unplanned equipment downtime can often mean significant delays. This is where reliable equipment can play an important role.

Reliability often comes from simplicity, and Shaftless Screw Conveying Systems from SPIRAC operate at a very low RPM, meaning components have a long life expectancy. This low RPM also reduces power usage - key for greater energy savings.

Reduced maintenance requirements

When compared with traditional materials conveying methods, these systems require very little maintenance. This is attributable to the shaftless spiral, which is constructed out of extremely durable HTMAS (High Tensile Mircoalloyed Steel). Over the long term, this reduced need for maintenance means businesses can focus on improving other areas of operations.

Spillage elimination

Shaftless Screw Conveying Systems from SPIRAC are, along with being easy to maintain and reliable, also extremely space-efficient.

Wastewater spilling outside of a conveying system can often prove a serious health hazard for employees. These systems utilise elastomeric seals and gaskets to ensure there's no risk of spillage.

Space-efficient

Shaftless Screw Conveying Systems from SPIRAC have a small footprint and make excellent use of available space, ensuring there's minimal impact on the site.

Relentless efforts from our newly formed screen team, with more than 80 years’ screen experience between them has meant that after only six months and after completing a series of tests and inspections in SPIRAC’s screen workshop, FINEGUARDTM is now being tested at the National Screen Evaluation Facility (NSEF) at Chester le S

The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District’s (FSSD) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) required major renovations and expansion to keep pace with the region’s economic and population growth and technological advancements in the wastewater industry.

For grit washing, the SANDWASHTM is one of the most effective options. SPIRAC has brought significant improvements to the SANDWASHTM unit, but this is still the grit washer that can satisfy high demands of those applications where any visible organics on the grit is unacceptable.

During September and October 2016, SPIROGUARD® was tested at the National Screen Evaluation Facility (NSEF), Durham, UK. The screen was put to the test with screen curtain aperture sizes of 3mm to 6mm.

Wastewater processing is the key to ensuring water is clean enough for discharge into a river or ocean. Grit is a problem for wastewater plants, causing damage, inefficiency and maintenance costs throughout the network and treatment process.
